Fished the severn trent qualifiers on the river dee this last weekend and what an experience.I had a fantastic time everybody was so friendly and helpful as it was my first ever competition.I dont drive but that was not an issue i travelled five hours on a train from where i live and it was well worth the trek.Like to give a big thankyou to Martin Dixon for making me feel so welcome,the guy who i fished with Andy Taylor who shown me the river and guided me for the two days and everybody else that entered and also Gavin Walsh who ide never met until the friday night who gave me a lift to and from the hotel.Anyone thinking about getting into competition fishing no matter how good or bad an angler should enter this competition because its an experience of a lifetime not to miss.Many thanks guys and i will be back next year and good look to those who qualified in the final on the dee in august.Yet again thankyou very much for making me feel so welcome.
